Connecting through art

‘Round Corners,” an exhibition by art students of the New York Educational Program (NYEP) in Manhattan (including Falls Village artist John Hodgson), opened at the David M. Hunt Library Saturday, Nov. 11.  

All featured artists in the exhibit live with developmental complexities.

Instructor Baris Gokturk introduced the show and noted that the group had expanded into sculpture, using found objects such as kitchen utensils.

The NYEP artists have held 10 group exhibitions, and some in the group have also exhibited work in additional shows. Hodgson, who has been working with Gokturk since 2008, has had 12 solo shows. 

The Hunt show runs through Friday, Dec. 1.
